In six years on the Space Station, AMS has collected more than one hundred billion cosmic rays up to multi-TeV energies. The latest results will be presented. Samuel Chao Chung Ting Professor at MIT and CERN, received the Nobel Prize in 1976, with Burton Richter, for discovering the subatomic J/psi particle. He is the principal investigator for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a large international collaboration with a leading Italian (INFN, ASI, Universities) participation.
